CLOTHES-HANGING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,828, dated September 1, 1903.

Application filed January 12, 1903- Serial No. 138,749. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CARRIE F. COX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Hanging Devices, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide handy and economical means for hanging clothes in closets or elsewhere, and I accomplish this object by means of the device herein described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a clotheshanging device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a clothes-hanging device made of angle-iron or other appropriate material adapted to be attached to the wall, the main frame G being shown in elevation and the sectional views in said figure being cross-sections taken at dilferent places on the main frame. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the bar-supporting brackets B. Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the supporting-bar C. Fig. 5 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the supporting-hooks D. Fig. 6 is an enlarged section of the supporting-hooks E.

The plate A, to which the hook-supporting brackets B are secured, may be of any suit able material secured by screw or otherwise to the ceiling of a room or closet, or, if desired, these supporting-brackets may be attached directly to the ceiling of the closet. I have shown two kinds of supporting-hooks E and D, arranged to be hung upon and slid along on the supporting-bar C. These supporting-hooks have a number of projecting points 1 upon which the clothes are to be hung,the hook D being well adapted for hanging childrens clothes. This supporting-bar in cross section, as shown in Fig. 4:, is halfon the upper side the hooks placed thereon will be held in a vertical position thereby and not permitted to tip when more clothes are placed on one side of the hook than on the other side. This bar is held in place in the supporting-bracket by means of the set-screw F. The supporting-hooks after being loaded with clothes can be crowded close upon each other when not otherwise objectionable, and thereby utilize the space in a closet or other place set apart for hanging clothes.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The herein-described clothes-hanging device comprising bar-supporting brackets B, removably secured to the wall or ceiling having openings in the lower ends thereof for the reception and passage therethrough of a hooksupporting bar; a hook-supporting bar 0 in said openings, the said bar being half-round in cross-section; clothes-supporting hooks D on said supporting-bars the said hooks provided with half-round openings for the passage therethrough of said supporting-bar, and having a plurality of clothes supporting hooks y; and the set-screw F in said brackets to hold the bar in place in said brackets substantially as shown and described.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 5th day of January, 1903.

CARRIE F. COX.
